From the little I have seen online, Mayor’s playing style reminds me a bit of Paul Dalton. I doubt if Mayor is quite that good, given that Dalton is among the best players to have ever represented Argyle, but even if he is a little bit like Dalton I’d be happy with that !

If you can't think of anything constructive to say, how about not saying anything?
Good to see the shape of the team in each clip - and most interestingly just how far forward ASB and Riley were in each move.

Dalton in his days at Argyle played as a classic winger. From what I have seen of Mayor he plays in an inside position down the left side.

I see what you mean. Same balance and shape when running. Similar dribbling qualities.
Dalton for me up with the best I have ever seen at HP, if not the best.

3-1-4-2 is how I see it as well, although the wing-backs are so far forward it could even be 3-1-2-4.
The formation does leave us exposed at the back and open to a counter attack from the opposition and a lot of responsibility placed on the sitting midfielder and the central centre-back.
The key is the other players quickly getting back into a defensive position and it seems like they are learning this today.
First half was more 3-5-2 but when Randell came on it seemed to be more 3-1-4-2 as he sat quite deep in front of the back 3.
The clean sheet was very pleasing with Canavan looking assured throughout. Wootton was a bit pedestrian but Aimson will probably come into contention at RCB.
I liked Edwards, always made himself available for the ball and used it well. Mayor I feel will soon render GC10 a distant memory. Sarce I thought did better second half than Conor Grant first half. Of the youngsters Lolos could well be around the first team squad a lot this season. He didn't look out of place at all whether up top or dropping deeper for the ball. Randell too looked comfortable sat in front of the back 3. My gut feeling is Fletcher isn't going to cut it at league level. His one chance he blazed over from near the penalty spot when a bit more composure and concentrating on hittng the target was required.
I think RL has things bubbling up quite nicely judging by today and will have a further week to drill his squad before Rovers next week.
Byron Moore was there on the pitch warming up before kick off but took no active part as I assume his transfer isn't quite done yet.
Kenny Dalglish watched the first 25 minutes from the front right of the Argyle fans minutes before disappearing just before Mayor's opening strike.
A great touch from Lowe at the final whistle when he brought the players over to the 40 or 50 Argyle fans and insisted on some youngsters joining him and the players on the pitch for selfies before Dan Cole took a picture of the team in front of the fans. It was refreshing following Derek Adams who was rather lacking in the charisma stakes.
For the few who doubted the benefit of 4 days in the Spanish sun I personally feel from having watched some training and the game today that it will prove to be very beneficial. It has been a great bonding exercise and given the coaching team a great opportunity to really get across to the squad what they are looking for without home distractions.
For what it's worth I think today's starting line up will have included about 8 of the Crewe starting eleven. Aimson, Telford and even Byron Moore will come into consideration. ABH will push Mcfadzean for the starting place on the left, Sarce might oust Conor Grant and goalkeeper is up for grabs.
